Advice Letter No. 2155 CALIFORNIA WATER SERVICE COMPANY (U 60 W)

To the Public Utilities Commission of the State of California (Commission):

California Water Service Company (“Cal Water”) hereby transmits for filing the following changes in its tariff schedules: Canceling CPUC Schedule CPUC Sheet No. Title of Sheet No. Sheet No.

TBD Preliminary Statement AS New TBD Table of Contents (Page 1) TBD

Summary By this Tier 2 advice letter, Cal Water requests authorization to open a Discharge Permit Memorandum Account to track costs relating to compliance with a new general National Pollutant Discharge Elimination System (“NPDES”) permit for discharges from drinking water systems (“General Permit” or “NPDES Permit”) adopted by the California State Water Resources Control Board (“SWRCB” or “State Water Board”) on November 18, 2014. Cal Water requests an effective date of February 26, 2015 for the Discharge Permit Memorandum Account, which is the earliest date upon which water purveyors can apply for coverage under the new permit. As the new NPDES Permit applies to all water purveyors in California, Cal Water notes that all of the benefits of the Discharge Permit Memorandum Account discussed herein apply equally to other water utilities regulated by the Commission. Background Water purveyors regularly discharge drinking water into storm drains or other conveyances that drain to surface waters. Section 402 of the Clean Water Act requires that a discharge of any pollutant or combination of pollutants to surface waters that are deemed waters of the United States be regulated by a National Pollutant Discharge Elimination System

(“NPDES”) permit. The California State Water Resources Control Board (“SWRCB” or “State Board”) enforces the Clean Water Act and adopted a “Statewide General NPDES Permit for Drinking Water System Discharges to Waters of the United States” (“General Permit” or “NPDES Permit”) on November 18, 2014. Water purveyors must apply for the new NPDES permit between February 26 and September 1, 2015. A water purveyor’s new NPDES permit becomes effective once the State Board acknowledges the application is complete. Cal Water has hundreds of discharge points throughout the state, but the majority of these are over 600 water wells. According to preliminary estimates, the potential costs associated with meeting the new NPDES permit requirements in Cal Water’s districts will most likely be significant, but will depend upon an individual analysis of each discharge point. A) Drinking Water System Discharge Regulation Water wholesalers and purveyors are responsible for developing water supplies and providing drinking water to their communities and customers in accordance with statutory requirements of the federal Safe Drinking Water Act and the California Health and Safety Code. Mandatory system-development and system-maintenance activities often result in surface water discharges, either via storm drain systems or other conveyance systems or directly to a surface water body. Section 402 of the Federal Water Pollution Control Act (also referred to as the Clean Water Act) requires that a discharge of any pollutant or combination of pollutants to surface waters that are waters of the United States, with certain exceptions, be regulated by an NPDES permit. (For the purpose of this discussion, the terms “waters of the United States,” “surface waters,” and “receiving waters” are used interchangeably unless noted otherwise.) On September 22, 1989, the U.S. Environmental Protection Agency granted the State of California, through the State Water Board and the Regional Water Quality Control Boards (“Regional Water Boards”), the authority to issue general NPDES permits pursuant to Title 40 of the Code of Federal Regulations, Parts 122 and 123. In accordance with the Clean Water Act, discharges subject to NPDES requirements include discharges of pollutants from drinking water systems. The Act does not include an exemption from federal regulation based on volume or flow of discharge; therefore, all sizes of drinking water systems, including very small systems with small volumes of surface water discharges, are subject to NPDES requirements. The State Water Board recognizes that, although the quality of the discharges from different locations within a system (raw water, potable water, chlorinated water, etc.) varies, and there are different kinds of drinking water systems, the set of discharges from those systems are fairly uniform throughout the state. In particular, water must be discarded as part of the mandatory activities undertaken by water purveyors to ensure that the water ultimately delivered is safe for drinking.

Despite the similarities, drinking water system discharges in California that enter waters of the U.S. (either directly or via a storm water conveyance system) are regulated differently throughout the state. Many drinking water system discharges are not regulated at all. Others are regulated by various Regional Water Board permits depending upon the region in which the system is located. Some Regional Water Boards regulate the raw and potable drinking water discharges using region-wide low threat-type general NPDES permits that regulate a broad range of constituents through differing regulatory approaches. Other Regional Water Board general permits do not address the constituents of concern from these types of discharges, and/or contain requirements with which it is not feasible for water purveyors to comply without creating obstacles to the proper operation of drinking water systems. Additionally, most large and small municipalities have Municipal Separate Storm Sewer System (MS4) NPDES permits for discharge of storm water to waters of the U.S. Some MS4 permit holders (permittees) allow drinking water system discharges to enter their storm water systems as authorized non-storm water discharges, typically through established local agreements. Other MS4 permittees do not allow such discharges to enter their storm water systems unless the State Water Board or Regional Water Board separately regulates those discharges prior to entering the system. B) New General Permit for Discharges from Drinking Water Systems In order to provide consistency throughout the state, the State Water Board opened a proceeding to create a new statewide NPDES permit for discharges from drinking water systems to waters of the United States.1 The proceeding sought to increase regulatory certainty through a permit that would implement effluent limits, best management practices, and monitoring specific to the water quality threat of their drinking water discharges. More broadly, the fundamental goals of the statewide general permit included regulatory efficiency and consistency, reduced cost of compliance, and implementation of policy exceptions for mandated water system activities. The State Water Board held numerous workshops to solicit information from all interested parties. Cal Water and the California Water Association actively participated in the workshops. Ultimately, a draft of the NPDES permit was issued on July 3, 2014. The “Fact Sheet on the Proposed General NPDES Permit for Discharges from Drinking Water Systems” on the State Water Board’s website provides a detailed discussion on the development of the new NPDES permit.2 Interested parties were invited to comment on the draft. In August, 2014, Cal Water and the California Water Association provided 1 Title 40 Code of Federal Regulations part 122.28 provides for issuance of general permits to regulate a category of point sources if the sources: (1) involve the same or substantially similar types of operations; (2) discharge the same type of waste; (3) require the same type of effluent limitations or operating conditions; (4) require similar monitoring; and (5) are more appropriately regulated under a general order rather than individual orders. 2 See http://www.swrcb.ca.gov/water_issues/programs/npdes/docs/dwsgp/draft_permit_factsheet.pdf.

comprehensive comments on the draft to ensure that the proposed permit made sense in light of actions water purveyors take in order to provide safe, reliable drinking water.3 The State Water Board made certain modifications to the draft NPDES permit based upon comments received, and issued a final new NPDES permit No. CAG140001.4 The new NPDES permit provides consistent and efficient regulatory coverage and requirements for drinking water system discharges statewide that have a low threat to water quality when properly mitigated through implementation of best management practices. The new NPDES permit authorizes drinking water system discharges of water that is dedicated to drinking water facilities for the primary purpose of providing safe and reliable drinking water including, but not limited to treatment facilities, storage and distribution systems, transmission systems, and water supply and monitoring wells in drinking water aquifers. Regulatory coverage under the new NPDES permit serves as authorization for the holder of the new NPDES permit to discharge water from its drinking water system(s) to waters of the U.S., either directly into waters of the U.S. or via other conveyance, including through a municipal storm sewer system. Discussion The new NPDES permit provides tremendous value to water purveyors as explained above, but it does add a new restriction. The new restriction is that any discharges that are likely to cause or contribute to an exceedance of a water quality objective (as measured at the receiving waters of the U.S.) are not authorized under the new NPDES permit.5 This would require treatment of groundwater with known contaminates to be treated to below the water quality objective before it can be discharged to waste which ultimately flows to a water of the U.S. As a practical matter, this forces water utilities to treat and test6 water discharges at the sources to protect against potential mixing with other contaminants in storm drains as the discharge waters are conveyed to waters of the U.S. This new requirement will make a large number of discharges that are necessary in the normal course of business significantly more expensive or, in some cases, economically infeasible. For example, there are wells that are treated that need to be discharged to waste prior to returning to service after maintenance or disinfection. This water cannot be 3 The letters are available at: http://www.swrcb.ca.gov/water_issues/programs/npdes/docs/dwsgp/comments_081914/dale_gonzales.pdf and http://www.swrcb.ca.gov/water_issues/programs/npdes/docs/dwsgp/comments_081914/jack_hawks.pdf. 4 See http://www.swrcb.ca.gov/water_issues/programs/npdes/docs/drinkingwater/final_statewide_wqo2014_0194_dwq.pdf. 5 Discharges from drinking water systems must still comply with Regional Basin plans. The Regional Basin plans limit the constituents of concern the particular water of the U.S. 6 The testing at the point of discharge provides evidence that water purveyors’ discharges meet the water quality objectives.

run through treatment facilities because it could ruin, or significantly lessen the life of, the treatment units. Cal Water owns/operates nearly 600 water supply wells in California. Approximately 176 of these wells have water quality issues that require treatment to potable standards before being pumped into our drinking water systems. About 125 of those wells currently have treatment facilities. The majority of these would not be allowed to discharge as the permit is currently written because there are parameters that are either above or approaching a Maximum Contaminant Level (“MCL”). The remaining 51 wells with water quality issues are standby wells. Standby wells can be used in emergency situations, such as a fire, or severe drought. These wells may be over primary or secondary MCLs, but are still considered suitable for human consumption in the short term. However, standby wells need to be flushed to allow for the collection of a representative sample prior to putting the water into the distribution system, or to collect samples to maintain well status. The frequency for discharging to maintain well status can range from yearly to once every 9 years, depending on the parameter required for analysis. If these wells cannot be discharged, they will have to be moved to inactive status, and then destroyed. The replacement cost for a new well is approximately $1.5 million but can vary significantly based on depth to water, potential need for treatment, and multiple other factors. Occasionally some wells can be discharged to land or sanitary sewer, but discharge to storm drains or surface water is usually the only alternative. In some cases, water can be contained and discharged in a controlled manner from a tank or battery of tanks to land or sanitary sewer. However, the discharge rate is generally too great for either of those alternatives to be viable. Sanitary sewer is not always available nearby and may be restrained by available capacity in the sewer system. Further, it can be very costly to bring temporary tanks on site just to comply with the discharge requirements of the new permit. For a representative well sampling, a typical well will run for 2 hours prior to sampling. For a 1,000 gallons per minute (“gpm”) well, that equates to storage of 120,000 gallons of water prior to discharge, or about six portable storage tanks. The cost to rent portable storage tanks to contain the water for a single discharge event would be about $20,000. However, this is generally not a viable option as most well sites do not have a large enough footprint to accommodate adequate onsite storage capacity. Costs to install a treatment system just to treat periodic discharges would vary depending primarily on what contaminate requires treatment. For example, contaminates such as nitrate, Volatile Organic Compounds (“VOCs”) or Chromium 6 treatment would cost over $700,000.

There will also be additional non-capital-related costs necessary to apply and comply with the permit requirements. These costs include training, developing standard operating procedures and other administrative expenditures.7 The aforementioned cost information is generic in nature. Cal Water will be assessing each of its discharge points to determine the most cost-effective alternative, and to initiate reasonable and prudent discharge activities to comply with the new NPDES permit sometime before September 1, 2015. Nonetheless, all necessary activities will occur prior to or shortly after Cal Water’s filing of its 2015 general rate case. Memo Account Request General Order 96-B, Water Industry Rule 7.3.2(5), allows a Tier 2 advice letter filing for a “New Memorandum Account request.” Given the timing and uncertainty of the costs to comply with the new Discharge Permit, Cal Water requests that the memo account track the following:

(a) Incremental operations and maintenance (“O&M”) and administrative and general (“A&G”) costs incurred to comply with the new NPDES permit;

(b) Incremental revenue requirement of any capital investments placed in service to comply with the new NPDES permit;

(c) Interest at the 90-day commercial paper rate. This request is made for all Cal Water’s rate areas because all service area’s need to meet the compliance requirements of the new NPDES permit. In seeking recovery, Cal Water will make a showing that the requested amounts are not included in rates. Furthermore, establishment of the Discharge Permit MA will not guarantee rate recovery of the recorded costs. Cal Water proposes to seek recovery in accordance with General Order 96-B or in a general rate case. The proposed Discharge Permit Memorandum Account meets the commonly applied criteria for establishing such accounts as set forth in Resolution W-4824, as follows:8

7 These costs will include: preparing and submitting a Notice of Intent (NOI); developing Standard Operating Procedures (SOPs) to ensure compliance with effluent limitations, monitoring requirements, record keeping requirements and reporting requirements; developing blueprint to leverage existing information technology resources to gather discharge and compliance information (e.g. use of the existing work orders management database to collect main break information and roll it into the company's environmental information database); conducting training for the company's distribution system staff (main repairs and replacement); conducting training for the company's operations staff (tank/reservoir cleaning, well blow-offs, tank overflows); conducting training for the company's construction staff (oversees contractors for main replacements), and; purchasing field instruments (pH meters, turbidity meters, colorimeters for chlorine residual measurements, tablets for recording field data, etc.) and hiring staff for field audits, emergency response, and investigations. 8 See Resolution W-4824, California-American Water (Cal-Am).

The expense is caused by an event of an exceptional nature that is not under the utility’s control: The need to comply with the State Water Board’s new NPDES permit is a regulatory requirement, as discussed above, and is an event of an exceptional nature that is beyond Cal Water’s control. The expense is of a substantial nature in the amount of money involved: As discussed above, the magnitude of the costs of compliance are unknown at this time, but will be substantial. Cal Water has 600 wells, of which 176 have known contaminants. The cost to replace a well costs approximately $1.5 million. The cost to install a system to treat water with known contaminates such as nitrates, volatile organic compounds (“VOCs”) or Chromium 6 has been estimated to be approximately $700,000. The expense cannot have been reasonably foreseen in the utility’s last GRC and will occur before the utility’s next scheduled rate case: Cal Water’s last general rate case was filed in July 2012, prior to establishment of the new NPDES permit. As discussed above, Cal Water needs to begin complying with the new NPDES permit before September 1, 2015, 2015. Furthermore, Cal Water believes that there is too much uncertainty surrounding the appropriate cost-effective alternatives to comply with the new NPDES for Cal Water to forecast costs for its July 2015 GRC filing. Finally, Cal Water will likely be incurring substantial compliance costs prior to Test Year 2017 of the company’s 2015 GRC.

The ratepayers will benefit by the memorandum account treatment: Ratepayers have benefitted from Cal Water’s active participation in the development of the new NPDES permit. Cal Water assisted in molding the permit into a regulatory tool that recognizes the activities taken by water companies in meeting federal and state mandates to deliver safe, reliable drinking water. The new NPDES permit does present challenges as documented above, but the results of the final permit are significantly better than originally presented by the State Water Board (see the State Water Board’s website for the history of the permit development).9 The new NPDES permit increases regulatory certainty by implementing effluent limits, best management practices, and monitoring specific to the water quality threats of drinking water discharges. Under the new permit, drinking water system discharges can enter the MS4 permit holder’s storm water systems as authorized non-storm water discharges. This also provides protection for water purveyors from unplanned discharges that have been the cause of unjust violations and fines. As a benefit to both water companies and ratepayers, this greater certainty will allow water purveyors to better manage their systems. The new NPDES permit also directly benefits ratepayers by helping to protect the waters of the U.S. from pollutants. A memo account that tracks the costs for compliance in the most cost-effective manner, for later disposition by the Commission, removes economic disincentives for that participation and compliance. When Cal Water is able to identify the most appropriate, cost-effective

Page 8: Advice Letter No. 2155 CALIFORNIA WATER … WATER SERVICE COMPANY Advice Letter 2155, Discharge Permit Memorandum Account Page 3 Despite the similarities, drinking water system discharges

compliance alternative for each discharge point, Cal Water should be encouraged to initiate compliance activities and track the costs in a memo account, rather than proposing potentially speculative capital projects in Cal Water’s 2015 GRC, for construction in Test Year 2017. Given the likelihood that significant expenditures may be necessary, ratepayers will benefit from timely compliance with the NPDES permit via a ramping up of costs, rather than a delay that will merely result in a higher cost impact later. Finally, the memorandum account will not guarantee rate recovery of the recorded costs, and Cal Water will make a showing that any amounts sought for recovery are incremental and not already included in rates. For the above reasons, a memorandum account that tracks the costs for compliance with the new NPDES permit, and thus preserves the full range of regulatory options for disposition of those costs, is in the public interest. Requested Effective Date Cal Water is already in the process of conducting a point-by-point analysis of its discharges given the tight timeframe for compliance with the new general NPDES permit. To facilitate these efforts, Cal Water requests an effective date of February 26, 2015 which is the soonest water purveyors are allowed to apply for coverage under the new NPDES permit. While this is less than 30 days after submission of this advice letter, under Water Industry Rule 7.2(2), “Staff may allow a Tier 2 advice letter to be made effective, subject to refund, in less than 30 days” upon “request and justification by the Utility.” Granting this request for an effective date that is less than 30 days from submission should not result in any adverse impacts to interested parties or the public interest.
